Published as [@freesewing/plugin-scalebox][1], this plugin provides the
[scalebox](/reference/macros/scalebox) and
[miniscale](/reference/macros/miniscale) macros which add a (mini) scalebox
to your design, so users can verify that the pattern is printed at the correct
scale.

## Installation

```sh
npm install @freesewing/plugin-scalebox
```

## Usage

Either [add it as a part plugins](/reference/api/part/config/plugins) in your
design, or [add it to a pattern instance with
Pattern.use()](/reference/api/pattern/use).

## Notes

This plugin by default includes FreeSewing branding, but you can
override that when calling the scalebox macro in case you want to
generate your own branded designs.

The scalebox plugin is part of our [plugin-bundle](/reference/plugins/bundle)
